Can LeBron help Cleveland in Boston and force Game 7?

e8e6b9a7dajack 11 Can LeBron help Cleveland in Boston and force Game 7?Game 6 in Boston could very well be the biggest game yet in the history of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In case you haven’t been paying attention to the 2010 NBA playoffs, this year’s league MVP LeBron James and the heavy favorites to win the title, that’s the Cleveland Cavaliers, are on the verge of being sent off to an early summer after the Boston Celtics won Game 5 in Cleveland convincingly, 120-88, to take the 3-2 series lead and give themselves a shot at eliminating the Cavaliers this Thursday night in Boston.

Yep, the Cleveland Cavaliers are in a whole lot of trouble and I can’t even stress how badly these guys NEED to win Game 6 in Boston and force a Game 7 back home in Cleveland. If the Cavs lose this, they can kiss the NBA title goodbye for the second straight year as the odds on favorites to win the title.

dbbc239c12james4 Can LeBron help Cleveland in Boston and force Game 7?To make matters worse, a loss could also mean that LeBron James may have played his last game in Cleveland as a Cleveland Cavalier.

That’s right, we may have seen James playing in Cleveland in a Cavaliers uniform for the last time and if our last picture of LeBron as Cleveland’s king is watching him lose to the Boston Celtics 120-88 after shooting an awful 3-14 from…

Dwight Howard or Shaquille O’Neal? Who is Superman?

seth-edward-oneal.jpgShaq’s out so Dwight should be the choice, for now.

After both Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal got into some sort of a squabble this 2010 NBA basketball season about who is the real Superman in this league, we figured to compare both guys since both we’re drafted by the Orlando Magic to the NBA as the no.1 overall draft pick.

From the time when Dwight Howard was drafted first overall by the Orlando Magic, the comparisons to Shaquille O’Neal began as O’Neal was also selected 1st overall by the Magic. Howard has long been considered the next great ‘big man’ to enter the NBA, and many feel that given the changes in style of play in the league over the last few years, he may be one of the last of his kind.

Howard uses more of a combination of speed and strength to dominate the offensive paint, compared to Shaquille O’Neal who had better post moves that gave him the illusion of being quick. Shaq has brute force, plus some good footwork. f543a9e179howard Dwight Howard or Shaquille O’Neal? Who is Superman?One can assume that’s one of the secrets that let O’Neal to stay in the league this long. Even with declining athleticism, he still has the weight and strength behind him, and still has the footwork

The comparisons between Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal are moving beyond their playing style too.

Both Howard and Shaq led the league in rebounds. Howard leads the league in dunks for the Orlando Magic this year while O’Neal did the same thing during the 94-95 season. Both players are entertainers and comedians off the court but have shown they mean business on the court. Howard and Shaq also both love to dance, for crying out loud.

Shaq has always been referred to as ”Superman,” but after Howard donned the cape in a slam dunk contest two years ago, that ”Superman” moniker started to tag Howard.

And in case you didn’t know, Howard has recently been…
